Details

Power-focused paddle built for aggressive play, explosive energy, and lasting durability.

The GAMMA® Knockout™ features a T700 raw carbon fiber face and BONBON CORE™ construction, delivering powerful shot output with added stability and a smoother feel on impact.

As GAMMA’s first foam core paddle, the Knockout uses BONBON CORE™ technology to generate explosive energy while absorbing vibration for improved comfort and consistency. The crush-resistant core maintains performance over time, even under aggressive play.

The T700 raw carbon fiber face enhances spin and responsiveness, while optimized twist weight increases stability through contact. Extended dwell time allows for controlled shot shaping without sacrificing power.

Finished with GAMMA’s signature grip, the Knockout provides a secure, comfortable hold to reduce fatigue during long matches.

Designed for players who want to dictate the pace, apply pressure, and finish points with authority.

Great foam paddle with lots of touch!

"My former paddle that I played with was the Airbender 22mm. I am a big fan of the Airbender series, but when I began to play with the Knockout, I quickly noticed that what I liked about the Airbender was also incorporated into the Knockout paddle - a great touch with a solid sweet spot for power. The Knockout is also a slightly lighter paddle, in which I gain a little more hand speed at the kitchen. And with a larger sweet spot, I get a more consistent hit across the face of the paddle. And with the foam core construction, the extended life of this paddle is just the "icing on the cake" for my conversion to the new Gamma addition."

Gamma's best !!

"When this first came out I played with it and could not get used to it -- kept going back to my Obsidian 16. After a bit I asked others in my club to demo it and they loved it !!! So. . . . . I went back and tried again and it has power, and great paddle for control. I would recommend this paddle !"

The knockout feels like an

"The knockout feels like an extension of my arm. It’s playing very well. It seems to have a rather generous sweet spot for such a narrow paddle."

Gamma Knockout

Tough, Strong, Great feedback

"Full foam paddles are the way to go. More power, better feel."

— Scott F. (5/5)

Clean Drives, Smooth Touch, No Regrets

"Coming from an airbender, this paddle makes every shot feel as smooth as butter. My drives have never been cleaner, and it’s incredibly responsive at the kitchen. If you’re on the fence about upgrading, take this as your sign to treat yourself; you won’t regret it."

— Felix J. (5/5)

Packs a punch and can take one!

"Just finished a solid two-hour session with the Gamma Knockout, and I’m all in on this one. The paddle absolutely rips — tons of power, but what really stands out is the Bonbon Core. It flexes and grabs the ball like crazy, giving you that trampoline pop! You can really feel it loading up and launching the ball with ease. At the kitchen, it’s a beast — super quick in hand battles, can pack a punch and take one right back. Gamma really nailed the balance of power and feel with this design."

— Arry (5/5)

Excellent paddle

"Surface is gritty which helps gives it that extra spin. Also has a lot of power behind it and a bigger sweet spot so it be careful with those long power shots and not over hit. Paddle is very solid. The weight is just right for me. I really like it. Gamma did good with this paddle."

— Christie k. (5/5)

I love this paddle, it

"I love this paddle, it feels great, but it lacks a bit of pop. Control and power are great, and feel is unmatched. It's my favorite paddle I've owned (from any brand). The only problem is the lack of pop. Additionally, people who have tried hitting with mine, have complained about how heavy it is, and they would like it to be lighter."
